Dr. Love thinks a relationship might work out between Groucho Marx and Margaret Dumont, but the chance is very small. A successful relationship is possible, but you both have to work on it. Do not sit back and think that it will all work out fine, because it might not be working out the way you wanted it to. Spend as much time with each other as possible. Again, the chance of this relationship working out is very small, so even when you do work hard on it, it still might not work out. ---

The chance of a relationship working out between King Kong and Fay Wray is not very big, but a relationship is very well possible, if the two of you really want it to, and are prepared to make some sacrifices for it. You’ll have to spend a lot of quality time together. You must be aware of the fact that this relationship might not work out at all, no matter how much time you invest in it. ---

I’d like to hijack all this frivolity to announce the results of myself and my late wife (using her maiden name): 99% - Dr. Love thinks that a relationship between me and my wife has a very good chance of being successful, but this doesn’t mean that you don’t have to work on the relationship. Remember that every relationship needs spending time together, talking with each other etc. Nice to know that the past 20 years wasn’t a total waste. And just for laughs: Me and Kathy Ireland - 91% Me and Me - 68% Me and Halle Berry - 25% ---

India and Pakistan–1% Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee–64% (We always knew those guys were chummy.) Josef Stalin and Leon Trotsky–87% (Ah–nothing like a meaningful relationship based on shared goals.) Israelis and Palestinians–51% "Dr. Love thinks that a relationship between Israelis and Palestinians has a reasonable chance of working out, but on the other hand, it might not. Your relationship may suffer good and bad times. If things might not be working out as you would like them to, do not hesitate to talk about it with the person involved. Spend time together, talk with each other. " ---
